Emma Myers Admits She Was Scared to Return in Wednesday Season 2 – Here's What Happened

Emma Myers stole the show as the lovable werewolf Enid Sinclair in Netflix’s gothic hit Wednesday. But in a surprising revelation, the rising star recently admitted she was nervous about stepping back into the role for Season 2.

Why would an actress who gained global fame from the series feel scared to return? The answer might surprise you.

From the Minecraft World Back to Nevermore Academy

Busy Schedule, No Breaks

Emma Myers has had a packed schedule lately. After finishing her role in the upcoming Minecraft Movie—where she stars alongside Hollywood heavyweights like Jack Black and Jason Momoa—she didn’t even have time to celebrate.

In a chat with Variety, Emma revealed that she skipped the wrap party for Minecraft because she had to catch an early flight to Ireland the very next day. Her destination? The set of Wednesday Season 2, led once again by Jenna Ortega and visionary director Tim Burton.

Why Emma Felt Nervous Returning as Enid

Self-Doubt Creep In

Despite her breakout performance in Season 1, Myers confessed that returning to play Enid wasn’t as easy as fans might think. “I was kind of scared to go back,” she said.

She explained that watching scenes from the first season made her doubt herself. “I remember watching scenes of myself from Season 1 and being like, ‘I don’t know if I can re-create this now. It’s been so long.’”

Finding Her Way Back Into Enid’s Skin

A Familiar Feeling at the Table Read

Luckily for the 22-year-old actress, all those worries quickly vanished once filming started again. She described her experience at the first table read as surreal but reassuring. “Like nothing had changed. I think I’ve lived with Enid for so long, it comes very naturally now.”

It turns out that Enid’s colorful personality is deeply embedded in Emma's own, making it easier for her to slip back into character—even after a long break.

What’s New for Enid in Season 2?

More Growth, More Confidence

Emma hinted that fans might see a new side of Enid in the upcoming season. “I see no harm in changing things a little,” she said. The character will likely show signs of personal growth, becoming more comfortable in her own skin after the dramatic events of Season 1.

This means viewers can expect a more confident, self-assured Enid—possibly with new powers, friendships, or rivalries.

Reuniting With Tim Burton – A Special Moment

A Career First for Emma Myers

Emma Myers also shared how special it was to return to a project under the same director. This marked her first time reuniting with a director—and what better one than Tim Burton?

“It’s very comforting working with someone who understands the world so well,” she said, referring to Burton’s signature spooky style that defines Wednesday.

What’s Next for Emma Myers?

Big Screen Break in A Minecraft Movie

Emma is expanding her acting range beyond creepy high school corridors. She’s starring in the highly anticipated Minecraft Movie, set to release on April 4, 2025. The film boasts a mega cast including:

• Jack Black
• Jason Momoa
• Jennifer Coolidge
• Danielle Brooks
• Sebastian Eugene Hansen

With such an impressive ensemble, this could be another career-defining moment for the Family Switch actress.

Enid Is Here to Stay

Emma Myers may have had her doubts, but she’s back—and stronger than ever. Her honesty about the pressure of reprising a beloved role makes her even more relatable to fans.

Season 2 of Wednesday promises new mysteries, character development, and, of course, plenty of Enid moments that will melt hearts all over again.
